The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

[Antonio the Sixth]

Dominating!

Dominating!

I wouldn't call winning a U.S. Senate Primary by 1,769 votes dominating.

[cinyc]

Schatz won precinct 04-01 with 57% of the vote.  Hanabusa won 04-02 with 53%.

[IceSpear]

Congrats to Schatz. Hanabusa needs to do the right thing and concede.

Dominating is not a number, it's a state of mind.

I'm not sure if anybody noticed this yet, but William Bryk is running for Senate in both Alaska and Wyoming. He's a New York transplant.

It will be interesting to see which state gives him a higher percentage of the vote

If, by some miracle of divine origin, he were to win both senate nominations, would he have to reject one of them?

I'm not even sure its legal, but clearly he did it so there must be some way of getting through filing for office rules.

He's not winning Alaska But I suppose in the hypothetical scenario he would just give up one seat. I mean, how do you run two campaigns in two different states? And what if, very hypothetically, he won both seats in the general. Then what would he do?

Keeping it realistic, he's not winning either AK or WY Senate primaries.

Here's the final map of the Democratic Senate results on the Big Island of Hawaii.  As I said before, the two precincts that voted after election day were split.  04-01 went to Schatz with 57%.  04-02 went to Hanabusa, by a lesser margin, 53%.  04-01 is about double the size of 04-02, which also explains why Schatz' lead grew after the inclusion of those results and the missing absentees on Maui, which Hanabusa won.  Margins changed in all Maui precincts, but not by enough to change the map, which is gradated using the typical atlas 10-point step color grade.



I'll also put a statewide map in the gallery for future reference.

Personally, seeing as I'm supporting Begich for the general, I'd like Miller to win this, Treadwell would be my 2nd choice.

Note: I will NOT be able to post any results from the Alaska primaries (I will be able to post results from the Wyoming primaries) .

While I'm glad she is not going to be a Senator, I'm kind of curious to see how Liz Cheney would have performed in tomorrow's primary if she stayed in the race.

[Senator Cris]

The polls in Alaska will closed at 1 AM?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Some of it closes at midnight,  the rest at 1 am. It doesn't count that fast either, or at least it didn't in 2010.

I would guess it would be something similar to Texas or South Carolina.

[Miles]

VA SD 38 is gone for Dems (Puckett's seat).

It was the last seat Dems had in that area.

[free my dawg]

As I said before, I hope Phillip Puckett drops the soap in prison.

99% of the polls close at midnight.  A few in the Aleutians close at 1AM.  Alaska usually starts counting and releasing results after midnight. 

If I recall correctly, Alaska results are released by the state, like Hawaii.  I seem to recall results are more continuously updated than Hawaii, though.  They also might release precinct-level results continuously, but the reports are in 40 separate pdf files for each House District and are difficult to aggregate using Excel.  You can usually tell what's out by looking at the precincts reporting in the House District primaries, anyway.

Alaska Republican primaries are open to Republicans, nonpartisan and unaffiliated voters.  Democratic primaries are open to everyone, including Republicans.  The Democratic primary is included on the same ballot as a few minor party primaries, too.  You can pick and choose which candidates to vote for in each race.

He obviously won't beat Begich, but WY might be worth keeping an eye on. Bryk managed to lose in Idaho's Democratic primary this year, but just like it was unexpected to see Chrles Brown win the Dem nomination over McKamey in Tennessee on the basis of appearing the first on the ballot, Bryk benefits from that, to. Charlie Hardy is the actual candidate from Wyoming who's been campaigning, fundraising and such, but I wouldn't count out a surprise upset here.

The early returns so far in WY's Dem primary, with less than 1% reporting, have Hardy leading the pack with 48% of the vote. Bryk is about 100 votes behind at 18%.

Enzi and Lummis are easily winning their primaries on the GOP side, and shocking enough, Mead is doing pretty well in early returns as well, with 60% of the vote over Hill's 15%. Chuck Todd thought Mead may have been vulnerable after attempting to strip Hill of her powers at Superintendent.

I want to see how this continues, but in Wyoming, A former statewide officer trails the incumbent Governor AND a Some Dude to the Some Dude level.

Haynes got 7% of the general election vote in 2010 as a write-in. I guess Wyomingites have a special foundness for black Tea Partiers? (FTR, I support Haynes as well)

Wow, didn't know that. That's kind of impressive, actualy.

[ElectionsGuy]

Called for Enzi already.

[LeBron]

It's a shame that Hill couldn't have won this though. Not that Gosar could have won in the general by any means, but Hill would have been the first female Governor of Wyoming since Nellie Taylor Ross in 1927. Oh well, Wyoming gets stuck with Mr. M². It hasn't been called for Mead yet, but with 18% in, the Governor leads Haynes 57-28 and Hill is only getting 15%.

AP called WY-At-Large for Lummis winning 3 to 1 over a corrections officer. The Democratic nominee will be a perennial candidate from Arizona....lol.

Bryk is in dead last in the WY Dem primary for Senate. Hardy looks to be heading for the nomination with 27% of the vote in. He leads Wilde 48-21.
